"Comrade Lungi passed away leaving behind a powerful legacy of principled leadership, humility, and unyielding love for her people. Her passing leaves a deep void in our hearts and in the liberation movement. She was a beacon of calm in turbulent times, a voice of reason when the noise was loud, and a steady hand in the rebuilding of our country’s democracy.
"Comrade Lungi was a mother, a mentor, a comrade, and a patriot. Her loss is deeply felt by the Women’s League, her family, her colleagues in Parliament, the ANC as a whole and the nation at large.
"But even as we mourn, we remember her smile, her soft-spoken strength, and her unwavering faith in the capacity of ordinary, people to change the world.”
